Congratulations to NEC horn faculty member Richard 'Gus' Sebring, who has been appointed Principal Horn by the Boston Symphony Orchestra! Gus was one of approximately 150 national and international applicants for the position of Principal Horn. He joined the BSO in 1981 and is now in his 41st season.
"It is a great honor to assume the role of Principal Horn of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and a privilege to share the Symphony Hall stage with Andris Nelsons and my brilliant colleagues," said Gus. "In this time of pervasive digitization and accelerating artificial intelligence, experiences of real, face-to-face communication will become increasingly important. Our connection with our audiences around live music of the highest artistic quality is something so rare in the world, and it is a gift to be able to participate in this vital exchange, sharing the emotional journey elicited by virtuoso concert music."
